Information about Meritxell
My name is Meritxell and I am from Barcelona. Currently in Edinburgh I am doing the fourth year of the Bachelor`s Honour Degree in Business Administration and Finance in the Heriot-Watt University. Moreover, I am doing the Honour Degree of Mathematics in the Open University of London. I lived during three years in London where I studied and worked as a teacher.
In addition, I have been all my life doing music and playing instruments. My specialities are flute and piano. I graduated in Barcelona in the Conservatoire of Liceu and I did the ATCL Diploma in the Trinity College of Music in London. Both graduations with a Distinction.
Therefore, my two main passions are Mathematics and Music, and I love sharing my knowledge with children and other students. I am a very enthusiastic and energetic person that enjoys following the process of learning of an individual.
Availability: My experience of teaching created a very personal approach of sharing my knowledge. I worked a lot to find dynamics and methods to make children enjoy their lessons and to find a different way of learning from the school. We always work very hard but at the same time, we have fun together during the lessons. Sometimes subjects become difficult just because the way of explaining them it is not the right one. Therefore, I always try to find the easiest method for each person to understand the topics.
Willing to travel: 4 miles
Experience: During the three years in London, my sister and I created a successful Music Academy that currently has more than hundred students. It is called Beethoven Music School and I worked there as a flute, piano and theory of music teacher during three years. I was doing individual lessons and group lessons for the theoretical skills. In addition, I had students from 3 years old to adults. Being part of the owners of the school gave me lot of experience about the importance of the teaching methods to the students and families. It also gave me all the knowledge about the requirements and processes to be able to do official exams for the ABRSM or Trinity College of Music.
In London and in Barcelona I also was doing individual tuitions of Mathematics and Spanish for different levels. Hence, I have been more than six years teaching these subjects.
